TPM module for HP Pavilion 15-eg0159nb

[FrankVO]

Is it possible to install a TPM module in an HP Pavilion 15-eg0159nb laptop to have Windows 11 compatibility?

Manual for this model series says TPM 2.0 supported:

What makes you think you cannot run Windows 11?

You need to know EVERYTHING that your system lacks for Windows 11, not just TPM or what the MS tool tells you.

Here is a link to a third-party tool that will check all the currently known requirements for Windows 11 and tell you what fails on your PC: https://github.com/rcmaehl/WhyNotWin11/releases

Do NOT try to download this using MS Edge as it flags it as malware -- which it is NOT -- use a different Browser instead.

NOTE: If your PC fails one or more of these checks such that you can not easily fix that, there is no need to PANIC!! Windows 10 is going to be around, and continue to be supported, for four more years. This is not something you have to spend lots of money to fix right now!

Thanks for the link to the manual. It’s very informative. Nothing made me think that it cannot run windows 11.  I was only starting to collect info after the requirements were published. The vendor site mentioned “TPM module: NO”. now i know i so not have to install a module since it is supported by firmware.

You either have it or not. No way to retrofit TPM on a laptop. Some desktop motherboards have an attachment point for a TPM module but not laptops.
